When I was schooling in Warmun every year after wet season my grandmother and Great grandmother would take us out every day after school for bush tucker and bush medicines. They would teach us about how to collect bush tucker right time of year.
Sometimes they show us what sort of bush medicine to collect and then take us home to show us how to prepare for different kids of illnesses such as for sores, flues, colds and wound healing by putting in our bogies (bath).
